What can I say. This is simply wonderful, when children have something to do after school, exploring the world and making new discoveries every day.

Expanding Business involvement

This video shows what is possible if a creative group of people can find the funding and business support to organize and deliver this type of activity to youth in non-school settings.

I would like to expand the thinking of places where such programs and volunteers could connect with kids to include non-school, volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs operating in community centers, non profit organizations, faith based organizations, etc. of Chicago and other cities. For this to happen the programs need leaders who look at these ideas and want to incorporate them in their programs, and they need donors and business partners to provide the volunteers and financial support.
